'Just like I thought they have him under control to be using mobile phones,' Dok-ja turned to look back at Sung-kook who had a polite smile on his face as he glanced at his phone every 10 or so seconds.

"Do you take me for a fool?" Dok-ja said as he frowned deeply.

"W-What?" Sung-kook stuttered as he couldn't understand what he did wrong.

"Don't act, did you seriously think I wouldn't know that this guy here is a puppet?" Dok-ja's frown got deep as anger peeked on his face.

"Ah, I would expect nothing from Yu Jung-hyuk-nim, you really possess immense wisdom and power," Sung-kook bowed humbly as Dok-ja almost rolled his eyes.

'Thankfully I can play off being Jung-hyuk, Haru could've easily done that but his red hair would've made it complicated and it didn't seem like he could pull off being an asshole given his personality,' Dok-ja thought looking at Sung-kook who was kneeling down in front of him.

"…Yu Jung-hyuk-nim, I'm not usually like this. Please forgive me." Sung-kook said earnestly, he wanted to let Dok-ja know that he used the leader as an excuse to get him into the tent away from other people.

"You better have a good explanation for this or you're dead," Dok-ja said as he looked at Sung-kook indifferently.

"It was to avoid the attention of other people. I don't know if you have realized, but there is a Sound Wave Blocking skill around the tent, so no one would hear our conversation," Dok-ja already knew about it without Sung-kook speaking of it since it was one of Dong-hoon's skills.

This way he wouldn't need to worry about Haru hearing what was coming next which is why he didn't raise any questions when he was being brought here. He was half expecting this to happen.

"It looks like this is a very important topic then," Dok-ja said sounding like Jung-hyuk, he was talking with a very emotionless tone while trying to copy Jung-hyuk's facial expression to the best he can, and it seemed to be working right now.

"…Yes Jung-hyuk-nim it is very important to you and all of us," Sung-kook said as he wasn't in the mood to find out what would happen to him if he tries to hide things any further.

"All of you?"

Hearing Dok-ja's question, Sung-kook took a deep breath as if he was getting ready to do a grand reveal.

"I am a prophet, To be more precise I am one of them,"

'Called it,' Dok-ja was happy since he was finally getting the information he wanted to know. He was pretty much sure that these so-called prophets were all readers of TWSA, that is the reason Il-hun was surprised to know that Jung-hyuk wasn't the leader of Chung-muro.

And it was also the reason Dok-ja would be treated like this, these people would only behave like this because they know what would happen if they step on Jung-hyuk's tail.

How do they know not to get on Jung-hyuk's nerves, a person they have never met?

It was simple they were readers just like him, Even though TWSA was unpopular the first chapter had like 1200 views but by the 50th chapter only 12 remained. And from that point on only Dok-ja alone read the novel to the end, aside from the epilogue.

Now back on these Prophets...

They instigated Dong-Daemun and Myeong-dong to attack Chung-muro knowing those two groups would lose, this was a ploy so that they can take over the two stations for themselves. They did succeed in taking over Dong-Daemun but failed to take over Myeong-dong.

Leaving that aside Dok-ja was ready to get more information from Sung-kook, he wanted to figure out how many people there were in this group of so-called Prophets.

'I really hope this gets filtered,' Dok-ja didn't know what kind of commotion it will cause, but it will surely be a big one.

Dok-ja hadn't seen these messages at the time since he told Bi-hyung to mute the notifications as they were distracting and also annoying, but well he surely wouldn't be able to figure out anything, especially from the last message.

Outside the tent,

"It is like they are running their own kingdom here," Hee-won muttered looking at some of the men with weapons overseeing other people who were dissecting monsters for meat or doing some other form of labor.

"They are basically treating people like slaves," Alea said as she had seen such scenes before in her own world and she had even read about them in the history books.

She wasn't surprised by this but she surely wasn't happy with it. The only reason she didn't do anything about this was.

'It won't last long,' Alea thought as Hyun-sung also looked like he was barely holding himself back from not stepping in since the people who were watching over others working weren't physically violent, but even then it looked unnatural to see this type of scene in the current times.

A minute later, a guy with a weird mask hanging on his neck walked in front of them, he looked at them with narrowed eyes as if he was trying to figure something out.

"What is it?" Hee-won asked since she didn't like the way this guy was looking at her, she could feel the 'She is old' look in his eyes, and it was pissing her off since this was a look she got from her younger brother many times.

"You guys are the ones from Chung-muro?" He asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, can we help you with something?" Haru asked making the guy look at him in surprise.

"…No, is your leader inside the tent?" The guy asked not looking back Hee-won.

"Yes, Yu Jung-hyuk-ssi is inside," Haru said with a smile as the guy just nodded and went towards the tent after looking at everyone one more time.

"Seeing him talk with a wall was really funny," Hee-won's laughed since Haru wasn't here in the first place and the one that guy was talking to was the wall.

Of course, to everyone on the station, it looked like the guy was talking to Haru, aside from Hee-won, Hyun-sung, and Alea who were outside of the illusion.

"Don't talk like that Hee-won, others might hear it," Alea said as Hee-won nodded but she seemed to be happy since she really found these situations extremely funny.

"Ok, I'll be careful," Hee-won nodded since it would be bad if their cover is blown while they are in the heart of their enemy's base, getting surrounded here wasn't an ideal situation.

"Those two guys came out?" Hyun-sung noticed Sung-kook and the guy who talked to them earlier walk out of the tent and started to talk.

"What are they talking about?" Hee-won didn't move from her position even though she was curious about it.

"I can't hear it either but it looks interesting," Alea shook her head and Hee-won nodded since she had the same opinion, too bad she couldn't move.

'It is interesting in more than one way,' Alea thought as she heard the second guy's voice.

"Are you sure that is Yu Jung-hyuk?" The guy looked at Sung-kook and asked in confusion. He couldn't believe that Dok-ja was Jung-hyuk because…

"Min-seob, I know what you are thinking, But maybe the author has different taste," Sung-kook said since Jung-hyuk was always described as handsome in the novel, Min-seob couldn't see Dok-ja fitting that description.

"I would rather believe that red-haired guy is Jung-hyuk, this is too much of a stretch,"

....

This is the last chapter for this week, there won't be a chapter for the other two fics as well.

I don't really have any chapters in reserve so I'll need to write them now,

wish me luck so that I can finish a good amount of chapters before the next week.

Bye.
